BREAK-IN
PERIOD
______
_
Engine
With Bombardier-Rotax snowmobile en-
gines, a break-in period
is
required be-
fore running the vehicle at full throttle.
Engine manufacturer recommendation
is
10
to
15
operating hours. During this
period, a richer mixture
is
needed
(i.e.
40
parts
of
gas for 1 part
of
BLIZZARD
oil. Maximum throttle should not exceed
3/4,
however, brief full acceleration and
speed variations contribute to a good
break-in. Continued
wide
open throttle
accelerations, prolonged cruising
speeds,
and lugging are detrimental during the
break-in period.
,.,.
CAUTION: Remove and clean
T spark
plugs
after engine break-in.
Belt
A new drive belt requires a break-in period
of
25
km (15 miles).
1
0-Hour
inspection
As
with
any
precision piece of mechanical
equipment, we suggest that after the first
10
hours
of
operation or
30
days after
the purchase, whichever comes first, that
your vehicle be checked
by
your dealer.
This inspection will give you the oppor-
tunity
to
discuss the unanswered ques-
tions you may have encountered during
the first hours of operation.
The 1 0 hour inspection
is
at the
expense of the vehicle owner.
